DENVER, Feb. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "Best
F(r)iends," starring cult-movie heroes Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero ("The Room"), debuts in movie
theaters nationwide this spring. The new Wiseau-Sestero dark comedy
thriller is written by Sestero, the New York
Times best-selling author of "The Disaster Artist," which
was adapted into an Oscar® nominated Hollywood film. Inspired by a road trip made
by Sestero and Wiseau after the production of "The Room" in
April 2003, "Best F(r)iends"
will be released in two volumes, for two nights each. "Best
F(r)iends" comes to cinemas nationwide on Friday, March 30 and Monday, April 2, with "Best F(r)iends: Volume
Two" following on Friday, June 1
and Monday, June 4, all at
8:00 p.m. local time. In addition to
viewing the feature content, attendees will also see exclusive
behind-the-scenes footage and outtakes.
Tickets for "Best F(r)iends" can be purchased online by
visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box
offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event
in nearly 600 select movie theaters. A complete list of theater
locations is available on the Fathom Events website (theaters
and participants are subject to change).
When a drifter (Sestero) is taken in by a peculiar mortician
(Wiseau), the two hatch an underground enterprise off the back of
the mortician's old habits. But greed, hatred and jealousy soon
come in turn, and their efforts unravel, causing the drifter to run
off with the spoils and leaving the mortician adrift. An expedition
across the Southwest introduces wild and crazy characters through a
series of twisted and dark foibles as both men learn a valuable
lesson about friendship and loyalty.
"When we unveiled the 'Best F(r)iends' trailer at our
cinema screenings of 'Tommy Wiseau's The Room' in January, fan
response was overwhelming," said Fathom Events VP of Programming
Kymberli Frueh. "This spring, we are excited to bring this reunion
of friends to fans of Wiseau and 'The Room' everywhere."
"Best F(r)iends" also stars Paul Scheer ("the League," "Human Giant,"
"Veep") and features a musical score created by Daniel Platzman of Imagine Dragons.
